An object and a screen are fixed on the uprights of an optical bench. The distance between them is $100 \, cm$. $A$ convex lens is placed in between the object and the screen and the position of the lens is so adjusted that the image of the object is formed on the screen at two conjugate positions of the lens. The distance between these conjugate positions of the lens is $40 \, cm$. What is the focal length of the lens in $cm$?

  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $18$
  • C
    $21$
  • D
    $24$

Calculate the focal length of the given lens in $cm$,if the magnification is $-0.5$.

In an experiment to measure the focal length $(f)$ of a convex lens,the least counts of the measuring scales for the position of the object $(u)$ and for the position of the image $(v)$ are $\Delta u$ and $\Delta v$,respectively. The error in the measurement of the focal length of the convex lens will be:

What is the refractive index of the material of a double convex lens having radii of curvature of $5 \ cm$ and $10 \ cm$ and focal length of $\frac{20}{3} \ cm$?

$A$ thin converging lens of focal length $25 \,cm$ forms a sharp image of an object on a screen placed at a distance of $75 \,cm$ from the lens. Later, the screen is moved closer to the lens by a distance of $25 \,cm$. The distance through which the object is to be shifted so that its image on the screen is sharp again is

Letters $A, B, C$ and $D$ are written on a cardboard as shown in the figure. The cardboard is kept at a suitable distance behind a transparent empty glass of cylindrical shape. If the glass is now filled with water,one sees an inverted image of the pattern on the cardboard when looking through the glass. Ignoring magnification effects,the image would appear as:
